Model of Evaluation

Teacher evaluation will be based on a teachers’s proficiency in teacher competencies (60%) as well as on the performance and growth of his/her students (40%).  These two aspects will comprise a 100 point overall score for teacher performance.

The six teacher competencies are taken from Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching. These competencies will be discussed in future posts.  Within each competency a teacher may be evaluated as ineffective, developing, effective, or highly effective, however each rating must be backed up by specific pieces of evidence from the observation.

Student learning will be measured from the scores of students on assessments, such as NYS tests (as in ELA and Math) or performance tasks or other assessments set forth by the pilot program.
